Some Afghan girls returned to primary schools with gender-segregated classes on Saturday, but older girls faced an anxious wait with no clarity over if and when they would be able to resume their studies at the secondary school level.
Most schools in the capital Kabul have stayed shut since the Taliban captured the city just over a month ago.
Taliban officials say they will not return to the fundamentalist policies - including a ban on girls receiving an education - when they last ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
They have now promised that girls will be able to study - but only in segregated classrooms.
